Car insurance!?

How long before the policy expires does your insurance company send you the delightful letter detailing how much your insurance will cost for the following year!! im looking around for cheap quotes, and i want to know what my insurance with my present company will be, but typically i cant get the quote to proceed off the first stage on the internet! so im going to wait for the letter :)
Answer
In the uk, insurers are legally required to send you your renewal quote so that it arrives at your address at least 21 days prior to the renewal date (as per fsa regulation).
